The quantity in each production lot is estimated to be a quantity up to 10,000 M27 Fins per month. The M27 fins is a canted 6 Bladed One Piece Fin used on the rear of a number to 60mm Mortar Cartridges to stabilize the Mortar Cartridge in flight. Manufacturers need to possess expertise in machining materials to reasonably tight tolerances (e.g.+/-0.0025 inch) and conducting specialized tests such as hydrostatic testing (approx. 18 KPSI). The fin is approximately 5.5 inches long and has a maximum outside diameter of 2 3/8 inches. The fins are made from extruded aluminum alloy (two material choices are permitted with a minimum strength of approx. 40 KSI). The ID of the fin is not completely hollow, therefore, the ability to bore is required as is the ability to drill a series of flash holes perpendicular to the centerline of the fin. Due to the configuration of the fin, a significant amount of the machine work required will involve interrupted cuts. This is a sources sought notice for planning purposes only.
